CUOLING-DTLVICE STAND.

Application filed November .lhis invention relates to certain new end useful improvements in cooling,l device stands end pertains more espeeinlly to n stond for supportingT the eoolingI mechanism :is a unit. rlhe primary object o'l" the invention to piovide n stond which supports the Cooling1 ineelumism so :is to permit free circulation o' nir about the motor :ind pump so es to nnrintsin the ports cool.

A iin-ther objeet oit the invention is to pro- 'vide n stond which has a. top or heed whereen the inotor und pump ere secured, the top or heed 'further h :wing the coil und reservoir supported therebenenth or in depending relation thereto.

A still further object oi the invention is to provide :i top or heed which not only snpport-s the entire meehzmism, but 'which is et tteetively held by end Within the stand and which :it the seme time een be readily und bodily lilited np and. out oil the stond, ns n unit. i

The invention ifm-ther zinns to provide e simple and economical structure and one "which is et light Weight end et the seme time secured together adjacent their lower ends by horizontal metal straps 2, which letter moy be riveted in posit-ion.

rlhrllfl 't 'wl t i' ,he iene o1 op, 1s composer o.. a 1eme ot' angle iron having sides 3, the angle irons bein` disposed so that the parts l thereot ere horizontally disposed zmd'constitute brises tot which the motor M end pump l) A.ire rigidly seemed, for exemple by bolts 5.

The verticel Webs 6 of the sides 4i are reinl'oreed by metal strips 7 which letter nre set on edge und engage tiet against the inner side feces et the Webs. i

Horizontal side strips 8 are secured to the outer iisces oi the legs 'l on the side ieees oi the latter sind have inturned ends 9, which letter abut. the webs il of the side irons 4 that constitute the top or heed. The horizontal ports of the irons d sent on the upper ends ot the legs and are supported thereby, end dne 5, 1926. Serial N0. 14:6,554.

to the ends 9 of strips 8 abutting; the webs il ot the irons 4^, it will be seen thet littoral movement of the head reliti've to the .et/:rnd is prevented. i

Vertical spacing :ind supporting; plates l0 formed with Ventilating openings il nre secured to the heed by use ot i'lnnges l2, which ere bent outwardly et right :ingles 'from `the upper ends of the plates, the ilzinges having their ends bent upwardly to lorm eers l? which nre engaged with and between the pls-.tes 7 and not es stirrups :1nd else spacers for the sides ot the heed. VVlhe lower ends ofthe plates l() ere foi-tried with right angular flanges 14 to which the reservoir lt is bolted by bolts l5. The coil C seein'ed to the pump and to the reservoir und eneireles the plates l0 so es to be stendicd by the plates.

From, the foregoing' it will be seen that the entire mechanism 1s secured es :i iunt` to the head, which latter .terms n bese to which the motr end pump nre secured, :ind that the entire mechanism ne e.v unit een be removed .tromv and positioned in the stond by vertical lifting oi the head.

Hoving thus described my invention Whitt I claim :is new and desire to secure by Let-ters Patent is l. A stond 'for cooling devices, including legs, n bend including n pair of side bars llaving` horizontal ports seating; on the upper ends ot the legs, seid bers having vertical parts, yerticnl plates having' 'Ventilating openings and hei/ing hanged lower ends, ineens to et` tech en element to seid flanged ends of the plates, the upper ends of the plates being flanged, the ends of the letter iinnges lniyinp)` eers secured to and between the vertical pei-ts oit the side bars, and side strips secured to the legs and having inturned ends engaged with the vertical parts ot the side bars.

2. A stand for cooling devices, including legs, a. heed including e pair of side bers hevin g horizontal parts seetingl on the upper ends ot the legs and formed to have en element secured thereon, seid barsheving vertical plates formed with Ventilating openings, ineens to attach the upper ends ofthe plates to the vertical ports of the side bers, ineens to ett-ach :in element to the lower ends of the plntes and strips connected to the sides oi' the and having inturned ends engaged with the vertical parts of the side bars. p i

3. A stand for cooling devices, including legs, e. head having spaced side bers formed to seat on top'of the legs yand to have an elenient connected thereto, vertical plates secured to and depending from the head, means to attach an element to the plates, and strips connected to the sides of the legs and having inturned ends engaged with the side bars of the head.

4. A vstand for cooling devices, including; legs, a head having spaced lside bars formed -to seat on top of the legs and to have an elenient connected thereto, vertical plates secured to yand depending from the head, means to attach an element to the plates and means carried hy the legs andengaged with the side hars of the head to hold the latter against inca/ementr laterally or' the legs.

5. In a stand, opposed pairs of legs.` a removable head having spaced side loars having K Y vhorizontal parts seating on top of the legs,

and having depending parts, and horizontal r'barsConnecting the pairs or' legs and having inturned rends whichV latter extend into the spaces hetween'tlie legs and engage the vertical parts of theside hars of the head.

l V6. In a stand, opposed pairs of legs, a re- 'movable head having spaced side hars having horizontal parts seating on top of the legs 'and having depending parts, horizontal bars connecting the pairs of legs andhaving inturned ends which latter extend into thc Y spaces between the legs and engage the ververtical plates depending from the head and f vtical parts of the side yloars of -theheach and secured to the vertical parts of the side bars of the head.

7. A stand for cooling` devices of the type having an upper and a lower element connected by a hollow element including a support, a head on the support adapted to carry said upper element, means depending `from the head and extending through the hollow element and adapted to have said lower elcnicnt secured thereto, and means to remov- A ably mount the head on the support \\'liercli v, to permit all of the said parts to he removed as a unit trom the support by vertical movement of the head.

8. A stand for cooling devices, including a series of legs, a head termed of angle irons the horizontal parts of which seat on the legs and the vertical parts of which are spaced from the legs, element supporting means dcpending from the head, and means on the legs engaged with the vertical parts of the an `fle irons of the head to hold the latter against lateral movement.

9. A stand for cooling devices, including a series ot legs, a head formed of angle irons the horizontal parts of which seat on the legs andthe vertical parts of which are spaced from the legs, element supporting means depending from the head. and horizontal strips secured to the legs and having inturned ends which engage the vertical parts of the angle irons of the head.

In testimony whereof I have signed my naine to this specification.
